Charming Gauge Costumes Recently Exhib-

Charming Gauge Costumes Recently Exhib-
 ited in the French Capital.
 This year young ladies and girls wear gauge dresses worked with gold or silver. The effect by gas-light is very pretty. These gauge dresses are made quite straight, and are worn oy yer silk skirt of the same color. Gauge, tulle or light crepons are the fayorite materials with young ladies. A very pretty costume seen at fashionable dressmaker's was of pine-apple-colored satin. On the left side was a straight band of tulle covered with tlocks of silk velvet. A gauge skirt worked with silver threads was thrown over the dress, but in such a way as not to hide this band. The corsage was of pink satin, trimmed with the same flocks of silk velvet. A bow of pink tulle and flowers should adorn the hair rwhen this costume is put on. Rose-colored dresses are also worn great deal by young ladies. White and cream tints are quite out of fashion. Blue is seen very little, whether dark or light. Pink is the rage. Avery pretty costume would be q pink tulle skirt and an emerald green velvet corsage; but it must be very simple. The oyerskirt should be very full and jauntily looped up here and there, showing pink satin under- skirt. The corsage should fasten in the back. be very tight fitting, and without trimming of any kind.
 For ladies, satin is a great favorite, and velvet is literally laid on the shelf. The truth is that velvet dress is very uncomfortable. It is very heavy, and sticks to every thing it touches Satin, on the contrary, is lighter, slips about like cat, hangs in graceful folds and changes color like smooth summer lake.
 For evening or afternoon receptions plushes of soft tints--pale rose, very light blue and avender-are much used, and make charming dresses. The cor sage and train are of plush, while the skirt is of heavy silk or satin trimmed with rich embroideries of silver or gold silk. One side of the train is artistically caught up by a cord made of gold thread and beads. Afternoon costumes are also made of plushes, but of dark tints and of French silks. The plush skirt is trimmed with narrow flounce of silk. The corsage is in plush, with a small silk vest of the same color, and under the corsage on the skirt are two paniers lined with silk and caught up in the style of Louis XIV. This costume is very simple, and yet very stylish. The richest fashions of the past are in vogue to-day. Louis XIV. dresses are now all the rage.-Paris Cor. Chicago Inter Deed9l

BIRDS. NEST SOUP.
A Chinese DeiIcacy Which, According to

Chinese Delicacy Which, According 70
 Darwin, Consists of Dried saliva.
 An American swift ahead, as usual, of the effete British representatives of the family constructs it's nest of small twigs, glued together by brownish mucilage, almost as copious as that of the edible species. but not quite so clear or pure or jelly-like. This Yankee birds nest swells and softens in warm water exactly like the genuine article, but it has not so far been employed for cookery by the heather Chinee of Chi cago and San Francisco. In time, no doubt, it will be duly exploited by some intelligent American Francatelli, and birds nest soup will delight the palate of diners at Delmonico's as it already delights the almond-eyed gourmets of Pebin and Yokohama. The true edi- ble birds nest swiftlet is a native of Ceylon and of the Malay region, and it builds in caves where materials for ar- chitecture are necessarily seanty or on sea cliffs of inaccessible height More than most other swifts this tropical species is confirmed highflyer, hawk ing for it's food around the summits of the mountains and much indisposed to settle on the ground upon any pretext. Hence it has learned to carry to the furtherest possible limit the family habit of making nest quite literally "all out of it's own head" without the slightest extraneous aid of any sort. The best and cleanest nests, which fetch the highest price, are com posed entirely of pure mucous from the salivaTy glands. The material in it's hardened state is brittle, fibrous, white and transparent, ''very like pure gum arabic, or even glass;" and the inner lining consists of nothing but small soft feathers. Inferior nests, which command a smaller price in the Chinese market, are composed in part of dry grasses, hair and down, welded together by the fibrous gummy secre- ton. In short, as Mir. Darwin bluntly puts it: sThe Chinese make soup of dried saliva" This sounds horrid enough, to be sure; but when we our selves give up coloring jellies with de- funct cochineal insects, it will be time for us to cast the first stone at the Oriental cuisine. In shape the nests are much like hanging pouches glued on to the wall of the cave by their own mucous, and containing each two eggs. All the swifts, indeed, are very small layers, as is, invariably the case with the most active animals; the laziest flyers have (other things equaD the largest families. The take is in | October, and most of the nests go to | China, where the soup ranks as high luxury. I tasted some in Paris few years since, and do not find it by any means unpalatable; but how much of the effect was due to the nests them selves, and how much to the skillful manipulation of the Parisian chef, l should be sorry to vouch for on such slight acquaintance Cormha Maga- zine.
